Monday, July 26, 2010

It's possible that I just spent the last four days relentlessly Twitter-stalking everyone at San Diego Comic Con. Possible. You can't prove it. What do you mean, when did I shower last? I'm going for an authentic experience here! Gimmie back my Funyuns.

Anyway, coming down off a convention high - even one acquired vicariously through social networking sites - requires a gradual withdrawal. Yesterday's Sweets helped a little, but really, they were just too good. I need a visual sucker punch to knock me back into reality, you know?

Theeere it is.

Convention...high...evaporating....

And for that final cold blast of reality, this should fit the Bill:

"Ohnooooo!"

I could probably end there, but frankly, this is too much fun.

First rule of cons: always pick a costume that's size-appropriate:

This also applies with cake kits.

Second rule of cons: a lone mask does not a costume make.

Come to think of it, that *also* applies to cakes. And cookies.

Third rule of cons: Lace is never intimidating.

"Join me, Luke, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and...what? What's so funny? Why are you laughing?

"Is it the doily? It is, isn't it? Hutt nuts, I toldPalpatine no one would take me seriously in this thing."

And finally, the Na'vi Nazis are here to show us what happens when you mix your sci-fi references:

That first one is disturbing, like makes my stomach queasy kind of disturbing. It's really supposed to be Iron Man? Is this one of those pictures you have to stare at for a really long time until the image emerges?

LOVE the Mr. Bill reference... but the two little bubbles down under his 'feet'? He's sooo cute in carbonite - and I know they never did do that to him - think it's time for a retro show.

I seriously had to double take the Care Bears. Thought those were the nose pieces. HA! Nose pieces, under those eye blobs... scare the little kiddies with Care Bear nightmares. "Mommy, the evil eyed blob cake ate all but my Love-a-lot Bear's face!"

Poor wittle Batman. Poor wittle white Batman.

Sweet conversation with Darth. I can hear it in my head. But why does it sound like Rick Moranis?

WV- fusled. I'm just so fusled by these CCC things - WHAT are they????

Yes, give us a clue as to what the first one could possibly be. My first impression was that of some sort of coffin. Hmmmm, that last ruffle-framed image looked like a decomposing sea lion. In all, a rather morbid post, guys, (snort, snigger) Norine

Doily Boy is hysterical. "Come over to the grey side, Luke -- I think we can really spruce this place up!"

Between the blue skin (yes, I know it is supposed to be) and the bulging eyes, those two heads look like they were asphyxiated prior to...winding up where they are. Or maybe some thoughtless person let them see a mirror. Cake, anyone?

I lost half my morning reading the reports from Comic Con. I'm blurry eyed and I think so were some of the people who made these cakes. You can still get passes for Dragon*Con in Atlanta. Come down, sign some books, see the parade. Joss Wedon might not be there, but Stan Lee will and two city blocks of storm troopers just for starters

While everyone is stuck on the Ironman ccc, I can't take my eyes off the Na'vi one.1- are we positive those heads are actually cake? If it is, I am amazed at the ability to carve a head so well and then mess up the rest2 - good use of black licorice :)3 - who eats heads? Na-vi or otherwise. Where do you carve from? ugg!4 - why are their faces melting? gross!5 - what are they on? paper waves? they didn't live on the water.6 - Are their eyes - gummy lifesavers?and worst of all 7 - where are their bodies? I don't know which is worse - the severed head or a whole body?

This site is the most wreck-tastic thing ever! I have become a daily follower after a few times of checking it out. I'm really loving the comic-con based cakes, that made my day especially the "iron blob" cake and Darth Doily!

That first cake looks like someone threw slabs of bacon on it drew in a couple of lines for eyes and then tried to hide the fact that it is a CCC! I could swear I saw cupcakes at the bottom of whatever that cake is lol.

I'm glad you added the note about the first cake. WOW. I adore Iron Man, loved the movies, but I did not recognize the cake *at all*. I thought it was a... torso. With red around it. And white lines for some reason. -hides in corner-

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
